Last season historical records were reached in days of skiing, but this has only made it close to the numbers of the previous year. Snow and winter sports lovers have shown that they continue to want to enjoy the season, both national and international customers.

THE 15th FJS Ski Trophy of the Jesús Serra Foundation was held with record participation

The station began and concluded its winter hotel offer, as marked on its calendar, from November 26 to April 10 , maintaining the three main ski area areas until the last day of the season.

The Baqueira, Beret and Bonaigua ski areas have remained open for 136 days of operation and Baciver a total of 52 days.

Snowfall has been well below the historical average with 356 cm in total

This winter has been marked by the lack of snowfall in all the Pyrenees. The Aranese station has not escaped this, if last year (2021-22 season) they recorded a total of up to 9 meters of snow in total at the highest level, this winter they have had to settle for just over 3.5 meters of snow. Let's remember that his record is from 2013 with more than 14 meters of accumulated snow (sum of all snowfall).

However, thanks to the large investment in the snow production system in all these years, it has been possible to maintain the maximum number of kilometers available practically the entire season. In addition to the great daily work carried out by the snow grooming machines, in double shift, caring for and working the snow to offer skiers and snowboarders the best conditions.

Snow production has also been a key protagonist during these months of exploitation , with a total of 45 days and 580 hours of production in the Baqueira area, 38 days and 469 hours in Beret and 33 days and 341 hours in the Bonaigua area. . Likewise, track treading, an essential key to offering the best daily service, with 85% of track treading being open.

The Puente de la Purísima with almost 90,000 skiers kicked off the good final figures; with half a meter of snow and practically the entire ski area available, being for a few days the station in the world with the most open kilometers.

At Christmas, 147,000 skiers visited the resort, enjoying the slopes and the special activities for those dates.

The following months of January and February were very crowded, even surpassing records from the previous year; the competitions and activity, as well as the good snow and weather conditions have helped this.

At Easter, it has been when the days of skiing have approached one million visitors, thus ending the second best season in the history of Baqueira Beret, with a total of 990,032 days of skiing . Let's remember that last season there were 1,033,453 days of skiing in 143 days in operation.

In Hotel Montarto, the reference establishment of Baqueira Beret, adds to these good results of the company, exceeding the number of reservations. The renovation of the second phase of the building and practically the entire hotel already renovated has encouraged customers to visit the resort with all the comfort offered by staying at the station hotel and directly on the slopes.

A large part of their reservations have come from the Baqueira Beret Travel agency, which has also concluded a positive balance, with a clear interest from customers in coming and repeating, highlighting the increase in international customers, specifically French ones.

The commercial actions carried out by the department in different countries are paying off year after year, receiving customers from all over the world and, of course, from Madrid, where it continues to be the main customer.
